Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

Zhang Chunliang blinked and gave a friendly smile: "Don't be like that, I thought we were already friends. My request is simple - if things go well, I want to stay on your Holy Island for a while."

Wang Shaofan's expression suddenly realized - yes, their mission was to find the treasure of the Mermaid King. What better place to hide the treasure than where it lives?

"Deal." Kenshahua's eyes softened. "I also want to invite a lively and gentle young person like you to be my guest."

Vio raised his eyebrows. There was obviously a huge age gap between his grandmother and this man - but there was always a sense that their auras were subtly compatible.

It opened its mouth and was about to say something -

There was a deafening bang, and then the whole space began to shake violently. The water in the swimming pool splashed out, and everyone was thrown out.

Xiao Ai wrapped her fish tail around Zhang Chunliang's waist and clung to the wall beside him. The dilapidated beams fell to the ground and the debris fell onto Big Bone's body.

——Then it fell along the bone gap onto Zhang Chunliang’s face.

Zhang Chunliang: “…”

The vibration lasted for nearly ten minutes before it slowly stopped.

"It's started..." Kenshahua's head was buried in the sand. He spat out the sand in his mouth helplessly and looked towards the gate. "Does that rude old man Kister want to sink this ship?"

"Just do as we agreed. The mermaids will always be grateful for your efforts." Kenshahua said goodbye to them decisively, "Please allow me to make a mark on your bodies so that the mermaids will not hurt you by mistake."

Two crystal clear bubbles floated towards Zhang Chunliang and Wang Shaofan, and finally burst on their foreheads.

"Good luck to you," Kenshahua sighed.

Xiao Ai did not leave in a hurry. It wiped the dust off Zhang Chunliang's face, shook his shirt, and tidied him up to look decent and clean.

In this tense battle atmosphere, Wang Shaofan inappropriately felt a sense of envy: "Your... boyfriend is so good to you."

"Thank you." Zhang Chunliang spat out the dust in his mouth and thanked him politely, "I hope you can meet a boyfriend like this too."

The corner of Wang Shaofan's mouth twitched for a moment: "???"

Zhang Chunliang stepped forward and opened the door.

In the mall, the army of skinny monsters that were chasing after them had completely disappeared.

The place was in a mess, with emergency lights flickering on and illuminating rotting store shelves, faded billboards, and damp, wrinkled clothing.

Gray fog crept in through the broken glass, bringing with it a salty, fishy smell. Not far away came many strange howls and the continuous screams of mermaids.

Wang Shaofan calmed down and asked Zhang Chunliang for instructions: "Then I will gather some players whose pollution is not too serious to dismantle the copper heart."

Zhang Chunliang nodded and handed the pack of cigarettes and a few mermaid eggs to Wang Shaofan. "Try to collect all the hearts as complete as possible. No matter how many heart fragments you have collected, gather at the swimming pool on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Wang Shaofan put the cigarette in his hand to his nose and sniffed it with enjoyment, then asked: "Aren't you going to join me? To be honest, this ship is very dangerous now, I don't recommend..."

His eyes turned to the big guy behind Zhang Chunliang and he swallowed the rest of the words.

"I have other things to do." Zhang Chunliang smiled and said without further explanation, "See you tomorrow."

After watching Wang Shaofan leave the 13th deck, Zhang Chunliang walked to the fence. The ship was filled with thick fog, and it was difficult to see things one meter away.

The commotion was getting worse, and he could feel the ship shaking, as if a lot of people were running and crawling at the same time - that was the army of mermaid egg monsters created by Will.

Some of them came from laboratories, while others were passengers and crew members who were contaminated by "merman meat" these days.

In short, a lot.

Those monsters appeared one after another and were driven off the cabin by the mermaids and surviving humans on the ship. They fell straight into the sea from a height of dozens of meters.

But after a while, it will crawl out of the water and continue to search for prey greedily.

In the thick fog, Zhang Chunliang could vaguely see tentacles covered with lumps of flesh and bluish-white corpse spots. The monsters almost brushed past him.

Even if the mermaids had three heads and six arms, they would still be skinned and eaten by the monsters that are as endless as the waves.

It is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

Zhang Chunliang decided to find Will's laboratory first, which was the monsters' lair. If it could be destroyed, the pressure on the survivors on the ship would be greatly reduced - if there were any survivors at that time.

He looked at the blurry sea water under the mist and asked as if talking to himself: "Where will Will set up the laboratory?"

It must be a very hidden place that is convenient for "disposing of garbage" and where one can escape at the fastest speed when encountering danger.

The bottom of the ship——? Unlikely. He had seen the complex structure under the cabin. Setting up an experimental base there would undoubtedly be digging one's own grave if an accident occurred.

Would it be like the swimming pool where the mermaid is imprisoned, a specific space that can be guided to by special objects?

Zhang Chunliang denied this speculation again - holy objects like the bronze heart are hard to come by, and Captain Will is just a human being, it is unlikely that he possesses so many rare magic weapons at the same time.

It was the darkest moment of the night. There were constant wailing sounds in the cabin, which sounded like creepy ghost cries in the wild sea breeze. Zhang Chunliang knew that he didn't have much time left.

Xiao Ai picked up the robe on the ground, carefully brushed off the dust, and put it on Zhang Chunliang's thin shoulders.

"You said... is it possible..." Zhang Chunliang's heart was beating extremely violently. He gripped the railing tightly and looked at the endless thick gray fog outside the boat. He could hear the dull and thunderous sound of the waves. The heavy beating made the Siren sway from side to side on the boundless sea like a toy boat.

At this moment, he recalled the researchers wearing tight protective clothing that he saw in the swimming pool and in his dreams. Their airtight masks and strange waterproof and closed research suits... were like some kind of old-fashioned diving suits.

"Is it possible... that the laboratory is not on the ship... but in the sea?" His tone was extremely conflicted.

The idea was indeed a bit terrible, but if he were the crazy Will, he would definitely try to do this.

"Give it a try?" Zhang Chunliang called up the system mall and tried to pick out a few props to help him get into the business.

He was very hesitant. The sea was very dangerous and one could be killed if not careful. He was not confident in handing his life over to the Game House - especially because this rubbish game almost killed him.

A tattoo? It was a good idea, but he didn't have enough time.

Xiao Ai beside him suddenly poked him.

Zhang Chunliang turned around in confusion. Big Bone slightly raised its bony claws and brought them in front of him. Between its fingers was a still-wriggling aquamarine jellyfish.

The jellyfish's body is covered with dense snowflake patterns, which looks magical and beautiful.

Zhang Chunliang took a look at the jellyfish that suddenly appeared, then looked up at the big bone waiting to be praised, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

In the end, he said nothing, took the cold and tender jellyfish, and put it into his mouth, imitating Xiao Ai's actions.

The palm-sized jellyfish was swallowed by him lightly like a ball of cool mist. Zhang Chunliang closed his eyes, feeling the strange power running rampant in his body.

At this moment, his fear of sea water inexplicably disappeared, and he even had the urge to jump into the water and swim - he subconsciously felt that the sea water could not hurt him.

Seeing that Zhang Chunliang finally accepted the food she fed him, Xiao Ai contentedly hugged his waist and rubbed her head against his face.

"Xiao Ai." Zhang Chunliang suddenly asked.

Big Bone tilted his head inquiringly, looking at his profile intently.

"I think I know who you are." He reached out and stroked Xiao Ai's cool and well-behaved big head, trying to touch the mysterious soul within.
